Hi everyone -

Thanks for the responses, my friend read them with interest.  He sent me a
message this morning that I thought I would forward to Love-Hounds.  He
also wanted to ask, "How does one motivate oneself to listen to Kate's
music repeatedly if one doesn't like it on the first listen?"  (He himself
was motivated because someone he liked was a Kate fan.)

Dear Kate,

I listened to your album THE WHOLE STORY last night.  So there.
Wuthering Heights is still in my mind.  I liked Army Dreamers too.
I happen to think that you miss a few times in Running Up That Hill,
especially near the end when the "other noises" come in; your usual 
adeptness at orchestration flags there (Elvis wouldn't have missed on
that one).  Anyhow, it was okay.

I think the real thing I meant about your voice is this:  if you just put
on one of your songs in a random room, the effect is dissonance.  The
sound of your voice is grating and unpleasant GIVEN THE EXPECTATION ONE
HAS THAT AUDIBLE MUSIC WILL BE ORGANISMICALLY APPROPRIATE.  In other words,
I get the same effect as when a heavy metal song comes a random radio --
it is obnoxious.  I suppose that one is tuned in and ready for you 
(physisologically), you are as remarkable as anything, but that's not how
I encounter you usually.  Does this make sense, Katey darling?

Your eyes on the album cover are cool, anyway.
